Well, there are a few things. One, you would be much better off if you
serve the assets directly by apache. Say your static stuff is in your
*/var/app/public/assets/{css/img/js}* directory - you would tell your proxy
(in this case apache) to serve any of the */calendar/assets/** requests
directly from there. That way you offload serving static files from your
app server (Node).
The other thing is to setup static route differently - e.g. you probably
have somewhere in your code a line like this: *app.use('/assets',
express.static(__dirname + '/public/assets'));* Now, what you do there is
say *app.use('/calendar/assets', express.static(...));*. The first solution
is much better because your node app will always work on */ *path if served
standalone (like when you're working on the app), and your proxy can pick
and choose on which virtual directory you serve from (e.g. if you want to
change /calendar to /cal, or even serve from both, your app developers
don't need to know about this at all, the ops guy sets it up as he wants
it).
